Reflections from St. Joe's

October 3
A reflection from St. Benedict's Novena for Healing: “Whoever loves God must also love his brother” and sister. This is the commandment we have from the Lord of love, our God who is love. If we love God, we must love all of God’s children. As we move through this painful time in our Church – when so much love, so much healing is needed – this is a most encouraging message and a most challenging commandment. It’s a good time to pause and examine our own hearts. It’s a good time to ask ourselves the question: How’s my love life? Better yet, it’s a good time to bring this question to Jesus in prayer: Lord, how’s my love life? How am I doing with your supreme commandment? -
August 18
As a priest for 50 years and being in seminary formation for 12 years prior to ordination in 1968, I am deeply ashamed of this criminal violation of the sacred trust given to priests to proclaim the love and care of Jesus to our young parishioners. We need to move heaven and earth to uncover whatever horrors of sexual abuse remain secret and do everything in our power to prevent this from ever happening again.
